Sheep River Provincial Park

Highlight • Natural

Sheep River Provincial Park offers a relaxed gateway to the eastern slopes of the Rockies where the Sheep River cuts a winding path through foothills. You'll find easy access to trails, day‑use areas, and quiet river viewpoints. Short walks lead to places like Sheep River Falls, while longer routes climb into the surrounding ridges for wider views of Kananaskis Country. Campgrounds and picnic spots are scattered along the valley, making it simple to turn a quick stop into a full day outside.
